Its only some poxy shirt I made for myself but it doesn't reach the top of my jeans and shows my gut. Most unsightly.
I've got my jeans set to max height and my t-shirt set to max length and my body is "normal" height not the basketball player height a lot of folk go for.
Any ideas?
Cheers Metal

I take it you are a fellow? Change to female then you ok as it seems mandory to show your navel if a girl in SL.

make the shirt on a jacket layer so that you can use the bottom part to make it longer. (requires you to make a new texture for the lower part)

The jacket layer works. But then you can't wear a jacket.
Another thing you can do is keep it on the shirt layer, and then match the texture with the underwear layer. That'll give you a good tucked-in look. And you can add the jacket of your choice on top.

Get rid of the gut. That's what is "most unsightly"

Create an undershirt and use your shirt texture for that. Undershirts have longer tails. This makes up for the short rise on the pants. I've got a belly in SL that I hate to show unless I'm wearing a two piece bathing suit.

If the lower part of your t-shirt is a plain colour, create a new set of underpants and set them to the same colour. Those should fill the gap. Example: http://www.flickr.com/photos/skelldagger/2766127734/in/set-72157606438046486/

Cheers Metal Did you make the jeans as well? It's possible the Jeans are low riders.. I'd follow the good advice here and use the undershirt.. now if you are like me and your tats are on your undershirt layer. you might have to just put your jacket and shirt on the jacket layer..

seriously, if you are making a "shirt" for a man, how do yo uget the texture to stretch down below the jeans, AND allow for the wearing of a jacket also?

Hmmm I think they are low riders looking at them. I'll try the tricks posted here as and when I get round to it. Cheers Metal
